3 Operating MioMap (Controls)
MioMap is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible.

3.1.1 Power on/off

Use this button to turn the power of the Mio DigiWalker P350/P550 on or off any time. If the device power is turned off while MioMap is running, when you turn the device back on, MioMap will continue the navigation as soon as the built-in GPS determines the location again. While the device is switched off, the GPS will not work, no position will be calculated, track log will not be saved, and navigation will stop.

3.1.2 Tilt up and down

Map tilting modifies the vertical view angle of the map in 3D mode. This function is explained in detail here: Page 24. Note: The Tilt down button has a special function when starting Fly Over (Page 49), the route simulation. If started while keeping this button depressed, the simulation will be fast to give you a rough overview of the route events.

3.1.3 Zoom in and out

Tilt the joystick up to zoom in, or tilt it down to zoom out. Zoom will change the scale of the map in both 2D and 3D map modes. This function is explained in detail here: Page 23. Note: When applied on list and menu screens, this action will move the highlight up and down.
3.1.4 Rotate left and right
Tilt the joystick left or right to rotate the map. Track-up map orientation (Page 26) will always rotate the map so its top faces your direction of travel when your GPS position is available. Use this function if you need to check something on your left or right. If you rotate the map during navigation, Smart Zoom will still zoom and tilt the map but the automatic rotation (Track-up) will be deactivated, so the map orientation will remain as you set it. You need to press Enter, or tap the Lock button (Page 24) to reactivate the automatic map rotation. Note: When applied on list and menu screens, this action will move the highlight left and right.
3.1.5 Voice instruction announcement
Press the joystick for this function. When using either the Map or the Cockpit screen, you can repeat the latest voice instruction by pushing this button. Tip: Use this button any time during your journey if you need the distance and type of the next route event. Note: In order to receive voice instructions, sound should not be muted (Page 74), voice guidance must be enabled (Page 75), and a route must be active. Note: If you have disabled Smart Zoom by tilting, rotating or moving the map during navigation (i.e. the Lock button appears on the screen), this button will first re-enable normal navigation, and will say the instruction only after being pushed again. Note: When applied on list and menu screens, this button will select the highlighted item.

You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page 39) or let MioMap do it automatically (Page 70) for you. Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which MioMap calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location. Using that information MioMap can automatically switch between the colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset before it gets dark. Tip: There are several daytime and night colour schemes included with MioMap. To select the one that suits your needs the best, make your selection in Settings (Page 83). Tip: To further enhance the effect of the night colour scheme, you can instruct MioMap to decrease the display backlight when the night colours are used. Set the desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes. Page 80. Note: The colours mentioned and screenshots included in this manual refer to the default daytime and night colour schemes. They may not look the same in the schemes you have chosen. Tip: If you use MioMap after sunrise or before sunset, look for the sun in the sky in the map background using a flat 3D view. It is displayed at its actual position to give you another way to orientate, and also to provide some eye candy.

4.1.4 Streets and roads

The similarity of MioMap to paper roadmaps is also convenient when it comes to streets, the most important elements of the map concerning navigation. MioMap uses similar colour codes to those you are accustomed to, and the width of the streets also refers to their importance, so it will not be difficult to tell a highway from a small street. Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this information can be displayed on the map. MioMap uses two different ways to show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap it displays the name of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of virtual signpost stuck into the street itself.
You need not choose between the two modes. MioMap will use the one best for the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the map, and start tilting up and down to see how MioMap switches between the two modes in an instant. Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at a glance. Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them off in Map Options (Page 83).

4.2.4 Lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6)
This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved or rotated. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is enabled.
Normally MioMap positions the map to keep the GPS position visible somewhere on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at the bottom centre of the map (when Track-up orientation is selected). If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to the GPS position, use this Lock button.
Rotating the map in any direction will only freeze the orientation of the map, but it keeps on moving to keep the GPS position visible. Use Lock to return to North-up or Track-up orientation (the one previously selected). When Smart Zoom is enabled, scaling or tilting the map also stops the automatic zooming or automatic tilting respectively. To reactivate Smart Zoom, tap this button. This button has a hardware button equivalent: Hardware buttons. Note: When the Cockpit screen is open, you do not need to tap the Lock button. Just wait for 30 seconds without tapping the screen, and MioMap will automatically reenable Lock-to-Position and/or Smart Zoom. If you tap the screen during this period, the 30 seconds countdown will restart.

4.2.5 Cursor (No. 7)

As described earlier (Selected map point, also known as the Cursor), if you tap the map somewhere or select one specific item in Find, it will become the selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and radiating red circles to make it conspicuous. You can use this point as starting point, via point or destination for your route, you can search for a POI near it, mark it with a pin, or save it as a POI. Note: When GPS position is available, the Lock button will appear indicating that you have disabled Lock-to-Position. Tapping the Lock button will re-enable the position lock and move the cursor back to the current GPS position. The same happens when MioMap restores Lock-to-Position automatically on the Cockpit screen after 30 seconds of inactivity.

4.2.6 Map scale (No. 8)

The scale indicator is only available on the Map screen. In 2D map view it represents the scale of the map. In 3D view it is the scale of the nearest part of the map only.

green means 3D reception. The GPS receiver has enough satellites to calculate altitude. Position is generally correct (yet it can still be inaccurate due to different environmental factors). MioMap is ready for navigation.
4.3.4 Time synchronization
In the top right corner of the screen you have another button that leads to a new screen where you can synchronize the clock of your PDA to the very accurate time provided by the connected GPS.
Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let MioMap frequently check and correct the PDA time with the GPS time. Below that button you will see the current values of the GPS and the PDA clocks. button to You can check here whether any correction is needed. Tap the manually synchronize the time. Below the PDA time you have hour and minute controls to manually correct the time with or without a valid GPS time. It also gives you the chance to correct the time after synchronization if your PDA does not support time zones or daylight saving time.
4.3.5 GPS configuration (Detect and Config.)
Two buttons on this screen open the automatic (Detect) and the manual (Config.) GPS Setup screens. For information on how to set up the GPS connection refer to Page 85.
4.4 Route Information screen
The Route Information screen has all the data and some of the functions you need while you navigate. Some additional functions can be found in the Route menu (Page 46). Without an active route one of the buttons is inactive and route data cannot be displayed.
As a reminder, you can open this screen three ways: tapping the Info button in the Route menu (Page 51), tapping one of the Route Data fields on the Cockpit screen, or pressing the Route Information hardware button.
4.4.1 Route data displayed (for destination and via points)
In the top section of the screen you see information about the current route. These fields are continuously updated while you keep this screen open. When you open the screen, all fields contain information on reaching your final destination. Tap any of the fields to see data on the via points starting from the first one through the final destination again.
4.4.1.1 Route line The upper part of this screen shows your planned route as a horizontal line. Its leftmost point is the start of the route, the rightmost one is the final destination, and you can see your via point flags along the line, spaced in proportion to their distance. The blue (yellow at night) arrow representing your position will travel from the left to the right, giving you visual feedback of your journey. When you reach a via point, it becomes the starting point of the route, the past will be deleted, the line with all the other via points will be modified instantly, and the arrow jumps back to the left. When MioMap needs to recalculate the route, the arrow will not jump back to the left as when reaching a via point, but it may drift a bit as the length of the new route may be different from the previous one.

This icon shows that you need to pay toll on the recommended route. This icon shows that the route contains motorways. Tap the icon to see the total length of the motorways in the recommended route. This icon shows that toll roads are included in the recommended route. This icon shows that you need to board a ferry along the recommended route.
This icon shows that you need to pay for the ferry. This icon is displayed when MioMap could not plan a route with all your road type preferences respected. Sometimes it is impossible to find a suitable route near the start or the destination. This icon warns you that MioMap had to recommend a route that does not match all your preferences given at the Route Parameters settings. The recommended route contains areas only accessible to pedestrians. The recommended route contains unpaved roads. The recommended route contains roads that require a permit or permission to enter. Information any other piece of relevant but not categorised information. Tap the icon to see the content. Next page displayed when more than 5 warnings apply for the recommended route. 37

4.4.3 Fit to screen

Tap this button to display an overview of the whole recommended route. You will jump to the Map screen with a 2D North-up view so that you can check where the route takes you.

4.4.4 Parameters

This button opens the Route parameter settings screen (Page 76) otherwise opened from the Route menu (Page 46).

4.5 Menu

The Menu button can be found in the top right corner of the portrait map screens and in the bottom left corner of the landscape map screens. Tapping this button brings up a menu that allows you to access some of the most frequently used functions of MioMap.

4.5.1 Find tab

The first page of the Menu is Find. It lets you select a destination without first having to locate it on the map. The Find menu will be described in detail later here: Page 59.

4.5.2 Quick tab

This provides quick access to some configurable options. Remember that symbols on the buttons show the state of the function they are switching to, and not the one the program is currently in. For example with daylight colours you see the moon, while with night colours the sun is depicted on the button that switches between the two colour modes.
4.5.2.1 Zoom & Tilt (switch) This button makes additional map controls available. The states of this button are:
When this feature is turned on, additional transparent buttons (Page 23 and Page 24) appear on the left side of the map screens for zooming and tilting the map.

When the My POI Groups are displayed, you have the following options: Show/Hide: similarly to built-in POIs, you have the possibility to show or hide all POIs of the selected category on the map. Groups with a blue icon are displayed; groups with a grey icon are hidden. New: you can create a new My POI group by tapping this button. You need to select an icon, a name, and the maximum zoom level at which the POI is still visible on the map (provided you let the POI group be displayed at all). You do not necessarily need to create POI groups in advance. You can do it while saving a new POI. Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved My POI groups. This will delete all POIs in that group. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action. Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon, visibility level) of a previously created My POI group.
Left/right arrows: if your groups fill several pages, these buttons will let you browse through them. The green field left of these buttons shows the current page number and the number of pages.
When the list of My POIs is displayed, you have the following options: Filter: you can shorten the list of matching POI items by filtering. Just like in Find, enter a few letters of the desired POI name. When the number of matching items can fit in one page, MioMap will automatically display the list. If you tap Done any time before this happens, you receive the list of matches on multiple pages. ABC/Distance: by tapping this button you can have the POIs sorted in an alphabetical order. Tapping again will return to the distance-based order.
When you tap on any of your POIs in the list, you will open a new window with the details of the selected POI.
Here you have the following options: OK: if you tap this button, the map screen returns with the selected POI in the middle. Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon and group) of the selected POI.
Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved POIs. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action.
4.5.2.4 Popup Information (switch) This button enables or disables the popup information of the Cursor on the map screens. The states of this button are:
When this feature is enabled, tapping the screen (activating the Cursor, a radiating red dot) on either of the map screens also opens a pop-up box with the selected street name, house number and the name of the nearby POIs, if any.
Tip: Tapping one of the blue Information icons behind the POI names shows the details of the appropriate POI item. 4.5.2.5 Manage Track Logs Using MioMap it is also possible to save the track logs of your journeys. This screen lets you manage all your track logs. When it comes up, it shows a list of all track logs already saved.
The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. You can change their name to something more meaningful if you wish. Each track log has a colour, shown to the left of its name when the track log is visible on the map. If the track is not visible, an underscore character is shown here. Tapping the line of the highlighted track log will toggle between showing and hiding that log. The track log will be drawn on the map using the colour next to its name.

When a track log is being recorded, a new line appears in this list with an underscore, as newly recorded track logs are not shown in the map normally.
Tip: If you wish to see the track log currently being recorded, tap on it twice to make it visible. In this screen you have the following options: Record: this will initiate track log recording. A new line appears in the list, and GPS position data will be saved until you stop the recording or exit MioMap. A red icon (Page 28) is shown on the map screens to let you know that a recording is in progress. Tapping that icon opens this Track Log screen. Stop recording: if recording is in progress, this buttons stops it. Info: this button opens a screen that shows the track log details, and lets you: change the name of the track log (Rename button), change the colour of the track log (Colour on the map selector), have it displayed on the map (Fit to screen button),
Replay: push this button to see a simulation of the saved track log on the map. A green icon (Page 28) will appear on the map screens to let you know it is not a fly over but a simulation based on a real saved log. Delete: you can delete a track log if it is not needed any more. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action. Track log options: this button in the upper right corner leads to a settings screen where you can set up the track logging parameters: Update interval is how often track points will be saved. Position information is normally received once a second from the GPS. If you do not need such a detailed log, you can increase this number to save track log space. Current autosave track size: this figure shows how much memory is used by the automatically saved track logs. Enable auto-saving: when auto-saving is enabled, you do not need to turn track log saving on and off manually. MioMap will automatically start recording the track log as soon as GPS position is available. Limit track DB size: here you can set whether or not to maximise the size of the database where the automatically saved track logs are kept.

4.6.2 Controlled traffic direction
The different cameras can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or even several directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. MioMap warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured direction. The measured direction of the cameras are displayed with the following symbols:
4.6.3 Speed limit checked
As additional information, the speed limit checked by the camera is given for fixed, built-in and section control cameras. When you save a camera location using the Add Cam button in the Cursor menu (Page 28), the speed limit of the road is used by default, but you can change the value from 30 km/h to 130 km/h with the given control:
4.6.4 Add a new camera or edit an existing one
You can add new cameras, delete or modify the parameters of existing ones using the Add Cam or Edit Cam buttons of the Cursor menu (Page 28). To delete an existing camera first tap Edit Cam, then Delete.
4.6.5 Change the settings of the camera warning
You can turn on and off the camera warning, and fine-tune its settings in General settings (Page 71 and Page 71).
4.7 TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
MioMap can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information.
Note: TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details. You need a TMC receiver attached to your PDA to receive TMC information. MioMap automatically takes into account the TMC information received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning. The moment MioMap receives traffic information that may affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions. The TMC subsystem can be started from the GPS Data screen (Page 32) by tapping the TMC button.
4.7.1 List of TMC messages
The main screen of the TMC section is the list of valid TMC messages ordered by their distance from your current location.

5.3.4 Find a POI

You can select your destination from the thousands of POIs included with MioMap or from the ones you have previously created. This screen helps you find the one you are looking for. POI items are categorised to let you locate them more easily. On this screen you can see the first page of the top level POI categories. There are three levels altogether.
The search will be carried out around a certain reference point. Always look at the current reference point shown in the green field above the POI category buttons and confirm that it matches what you want. To change the reference, tap the Change ref. button in the top right corner.
Once you tap the Change ref. button, you are presented with these choices: Address: you can specify an address to be searched around, or a settlement to search in. The centre of this settlement will be used as the reference point. History: the reference for the search can be selected from the History list. Coordinates: you can specify a latitude/longitude pair to be the centre of the search. GPS Position: the search will be carried out around the current location given by the GPS if it is available. If no GPS position is available, the last known GPS position (grey arrow on the map) will be used. Cursor: the search will be carried out around the previously selected map point. Destination: the search will be carried out around the destination of your current route.
The current selection is always shown in the green field at the top of the page. Note: The default reference point for POI search is the current GPS position, if it is available, or the Cursor, when there is no reliable GPS position. Once you have set the reference point, you have the following options on the Find POI screen: Search in POI subgroups: highlight one of the POI groups by tapping or using the direction buttons, then press Enter or tap it again to see the list of subgroups. Using the same action you can move deeper into subgroups. Filter from all the POIs of that level: tapping the Filter button will bring up a text input screen to let you narrow the list of POIs. If you tap Filter in the list of subgroups, you will only search in the group you are already in. See all POIs of the current group in a list: tapping the All button opens the list of all points in the group or subgroup you are already in. Use the Next and Previous buttons to browse through the list.

6.5.4 Map options

You can set a few parameters determining the appearance of the maps in MioMap.
6.5.4.1 Daylight / Night colour profile MioMap comes with different colour schemes for both daylight and night use. There is always one selected daytime scheme and one selected night-time scheme. MioMap uses these when switching from day to night and back. Tap the appropriate button and select a new scheme from the list. 6.5.4.2 Show Street Labels You can set whether or not to see the names of the streets and the POI icons on the map when driving. Based on the current zoom and tilt levels, street names are displayed either aligned with the street or on signposts stuck into the streets (Page 18). If you switch these signs on, it will be easier to recognise your location on the map, if you turn them off, it will be easier to see the road geometry. Note: You can only disable street names and POI icons if MioMap follows your position. As soon as you move the map and Lock-to-Position (Page 24) is disabled, street names and icons become visible again. Tap Lock to re-enable Lock-toPosition and have the labels and icons disappear again. 6.5.4.3 Textured Polygons Enable textured polygons, and have rivers, lakes, forests and other large objects displayed in a more realistic and attractive way on the map. Disabling it will lead to uniform areas but better performance. See Page 18.

6.5.5 Smart Zoom

Smart zoom is a lot more than just a usual automatic zoom. While navigating a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat in order
to let you see the road in front of you, or it can even switch to an Overview mode to let you follow your position on the map. While cruising: if there is no active route and you are just driving, Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
6.5.5.1 Enable Smart Zoom Use this switch to enable or disable Smart Zoom. When disabled, the zoom and tilt levels on map screens during navigation are fixed, and you can set them manually using screen buttons (Page 23 and Page 24). Turn this feature on to let MioMap zoom and tilt the map automatically to always show you the best view for your navigation needs. 6.5.5.2 Enable Overview mode You can configure how the Overview mode is triggered when the next turn is at a distance. The Route event distance will determine when MioMap switches to the Overview or back to the Navigation view. The Overview zoom level will determine the fixed zoom level of the map in both automatic and manually selected (by the Map orientation icon see here: Page 26) Overview modes. You can change the zoom level manually at any time (the Lock button will not be displayed), but when you enter the Overview mode again, the zoom level will be reset to this value. You can also move the map in Overview mode. Then the Lock button will appear, and when pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle again. On the other hand you are not allowed to rotate the map in Overview mode. This mode is a strictly north-up orientated mode. Note: when this automatic feature is disabled, you can still enable the Overview mode manually as described here: Page 26.

The Route To button is for starting a new route only. For a single route you tap this when the destination is selected. Multi-point routes can be created after you have established a single route. Add points to the single route by using the Add Via and Continue buttons. Applying Route To again will delete the whole route. In your case only single routes existed before, so they were deleted without a warning message. If you already have a multi-point route, MioMap warns you before deleting the whole route. The speaker icon shows MioMap is not muted yet I hear no voice guidance. The muting available from both map screens is just a quick silencer that cancels the sound output. Voice guidance and key sounds need to be enabled and volume must be set at the Sound Settings screen (Page 74). I enabled the speed warning as soon as I bought the product but I have just been fined for speeding because MioMap failed to warn me. For an accurate speed warning the actual speed limits of each street and road must be present correctly on the map. This is a relatively new feature of digital maps, so it may not be available in some countries, and its accuracy still has much room for improvement (ask your local dealer for the details in your region). This feature can help you in several cases but it cannot be considered as serious speed control. That is why it can be turned on and off separately from the reliable voice guidance (Warn When Speeding). I would like to create a new POI during navigation (Cockpit screen) but there is no Add POI button in the Cursor menu. For driving safety reasons the Add POI function is only available on the Map screen. If you are the driver, save it as a POI later, when you reach your destination. If you are not driving, switch to Map mode, where the Add POI button is available. I would like to create a new POI but there are others near its location, and the new menu point (POI) opens the list of POI instead of creating a new one. Look for the New button in the bottom left corner of the newly opened list. Using that button you can add your new POI as if it was opened from the Cursor menu.

8 Glossary

The manual may contain many technical terms. Please look below for an explanation if you are unfamiliar with some of them. 2D/3D GPS reception: The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position. Depending on the current positions of the ever moving satellites in the sky, and the objects in your environment, the signal that your GPS device receives may be weaker or stronger. Your GPS needs strong signal from at least four satellites to give a three dimensional position including elevation. If fewer satellites are available, it may still be possible to calculate the position but the accuracy will be lower and the GPS device will not calculate elevation. This is called 2D reception. MioMap shows the quality of reception on the GPS Data screen (Page 33) and both map screens (Page 26). Note that 2D and 3D GPS receptions have nothing to do with the 2D and 3D display modes of the map. That is a way of representing the map on the screen independently from the GPS reception. Accuracy: The difference between your real position and the one given by the GPS device is affected by several different factors. The GPS is capable of providing a guess of its current error based on the number of satellites it can receive a signal from, and their position in the sky. This information is shown in MioMap on the GPS Data screen (Page 32). Lower numbers indicate better accuracy, where 1.0 is nearperfection. Use it as a general reference only. Note that several other factors affect the real accuracy, some of which the GPS is incapable of estimating (e.g. signal delay in the ionosphere, reflecting objects near the GPS device, etc.). Active route: A route is an itinerary planned to reach your chosen destinations. A route is active when it is used for navigation. MioMap has only one route at a time, and it is always active until you delete it, reach the final destination or exit MioMap. When there is more than one destination to reach, the route is cut into different legs (from one via point to another). Only one of these legs can be active at one particular time. The rest of them are unused and shown in a different colour on the map. Automatic route planning (Autorouting): You only need to set up your destination, and based on its map, the software will automatically figure out which roads you need to take, and the turns you need to make to get there. MioMap will let you select multiple destinations, and customise some important routing parameters (Page 76). Automatic route recalculation: If this function is enabled (Page 74), MioMap recalculates your route if you deviate from it. When you miss a turn or avoid a roadblock, MioMap waits for a few seconds to be sure you do not follow the route any more (you can fine-tune it in Advanced settings), then recalculates the route based upon your new position and heading.

Zoom In and Out: The Zoom function is used to change the scale of the map. Use Zoom In to scale down the map to see less of it but in more detail, and use Zoom Out to scale the map up to have a broader view of that part of the map with fewer details. See also Page 16 and Page 23.

The special keys described in the previous section are also available here.
3.2.6.2 The numeric keyboard The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well.
Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.
4 Discovering the program through the screens
The best way to discover MioMap is to explore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour.

4.1 The map

The most important and most frequently used screens of MioMap are the two screens with the map (Map screen and Cockpit screen). They are similar in look and in possible controls but are optimised for different uses. The map they display is common. The elements of the map are described here. For the controls and special functions of the two map screens see Page 19. The current version of MioMap is primarily intended for land navigation. That is why maps in MioMap look similar to paper roadmaps (when using daytime colours and 2D map mode). However, MioMap provides much more than regular paper maps can. The look and the contents can be changed.
4.1.1 2D and 3D map views
Besides the classical top down view of the map (called 2D mode), you have the possibility to tilt the map to have a perspective view (3D mode) that gives a view similar to that seen through the windscreen with the possibility to see far ahead.
It is easy to change between 2D and 3D modes. You have two options. You can use the Tilt up and down buttons (Page 22) to tilt the map seamlessly between 2D and all 3D angles, or you can use the switch in the Quick menu (3D Map) to quickly switch between the two modes. Note: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the
other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes navigation very comfortable. The description of these modes will come later in this manual.

4.1.2 Zoom levels

MioMap uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom levels, always with optimised content. Street names and other text objects are always displayed with the same font size, never upside down, and you only see as many streets and objects as needed to find your way around the map. Zoom in and out to see how the map changes in either the 2D or 3D view.

4.1.4 Streets and roads

The similarity of MioMap to paper roadmaps is also convenient when it comes to streets, the most important elements of the map concerning navigation. MioMap uses similar colour codes to those you are accustomed to, and the width of the streets also refers to their importance, so it will not be difficult to tell a highway from a small street. Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this information can be displayed on the map. MioMap uses two different ways to show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap it displays the name of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of virtual signpost stuck into the street itself.
You need not choose between the two modes. MioMap will use the one best for the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the map, and start tilting up and down to see how MioMap switches between the two modes in an instant. Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at a glance.

4.1.5 Other objects

To help orientate you, the map also contains objects that have no other navigating function than to help you recognise your location on the map. These are surfacewaters, large buildings, forests, etc.

4.1.6 Speed cameras

There are special POI types in MioMap. There is a built-in database of fixed and mobile speed cameras. It is also possible to add new cameras to enhance this database. They are not shown in POI lists, but they are shown on the map with special icons. Speed cameras are described in detail here: Page 46
4.1.7 Elements of the Active Route
MioMap uses a multi-destination routing system in which you have a start point (your current location if GPS position is available), a destination, the line of the active leg of the route, and optionally via points and inactive legs. They are all shown on the map. 4.1.7.1 The start point, via points and the destination These points are represented by flags.

4.2.4 Lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6)
This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map.
Normally MioMap positions the map to keep the GPS position visible somewhere on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at the bottom centre of the map (when Track-up orientation is selected). If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to the GPS position, use this Lock button. Scaling or tilting the map also stops the automatic zooming or automatic tilting respectively. To reactivate Smart Zoom, tap this button. 22
Note: When the Cockpit screen is open, you do not need to tap the Lock button. Just wait for 30 seconds without tapping the screen, and MioMap will automatically reenable Lock-to-Position and/or Smart Zoom. If you tap the screen during this period, the 30 seconds countdown will restart.

4.2.5 Cursor (No. 7)

As described earlier (Selected map point, also known as the Cursor), if you tap the map somewhere or select one specific item in Find, it will become the selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and radiating red circles to make it conspicuous. You can use this point as starting point, via point or destination for your route, you can search for a POI near it, mark it with a pin, or save it as a POI. Note: When GPS position is available, the Lock button will appear indicating that you have disabled Lock-to-Position. Tapping the Lock button will re-enable the position lock and move the cursor back to the current GPS position. The same happens when MioMap restores Lock-to-Position automatically on the Cockpit screen after 30 seconds of inactivity.

4.2.6 Map scale (No. 8)

The scale indicator is only available on the Map screen. In 2D map view it represents the scale of the map. In 3D view it is the scale of the nearest part of the map only.
You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to zoom in, or left to zoom out.

4.2.7 Menu (No. 9)

This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu and the exit button that takes you to the Main menu screen. The Menu will be described in detail later: Page 34.

4.2.8 Map orientation and Overview (No. 10)
You can view the map screens in three different presentation modes. This switch will cycle through them in the following order. The usual map orientation for navigation is Track-up. It means MioMap rotates the map during navigation to always face the direction of your travel. In this mode an arrow (compass) points towards North.
Tap this icon to switch to North-up mode. Now the map is fixed to keep facing North. The icon changes to show the new rotation mode.
Tap the icon again to enter Overview mode. This mode looks similar to the North-up mode with one difference: the zoom level in this mode has a fixed default to give you a better look of where you are on the map. You can change the zoom level at any time, this will not cause the Lock button to appear, but when entering Overview mode later, the default zoom level will be restored. The arrow representing your position will be fixed in the middle of the screen. When you move the map in Overview mode, the Lock button will appear, and when pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle of the map again. An aeroplane icon indicates Overview mode.
Tap the icon again to return to Track-up (automatic rotation) mode.
4.2.9 GPS position quality (No. 11)
Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page 30), the map screens also inform you about the GPS signal:
The black satellite dish with the red exclamation mark shows there is no connection with the GPS receiver. GPS navigation is not possible. Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear under normal circumstances. Red shows there is a connection, but the signal is too weak to give a position. GPS navigation is not possible. Black shows there is a GPS position, and navigation is possible. When only one arc is shown, the position is 2D (no altitude available), and position error may be significant, yet MioMap is ready to navigate. A black dish and two arcs represent a 3D GPS position. MioMap is ready to navigate.
When small car symbols are displayed under the dish, TMC information is available.

4.2.10

Battery status (No. 12)
The status of the battery is also shown by MioMap. You can estimate the available power reserve from the length of the bar inside. Some examples:
The thunderbolt in the battery shows the battery is being charged. Battery is not charging, but it is at full capacity. Battery in not full, but there is sufficient reserve capacity. When the inside of the battery turns red, the battery needs recharging.

Display modes are different only in the number of events displayed in the list. List items are always shown with all information available including pictograms of the needed action and distance of the event from the previous list item. The Itinerary is live and constantly updated when navigating a route. The list item coming next in navigation is the highlighted one until you highlight another one by tapping. After that, the highlight remains on the item you have selected. Detailed Instructions: this is the list displayed when Itinerary is opened. It is the list of events in full detail. All significant junctions are shown in the list, even ones to be passed. Instructions: by tapping the Mode button once you will see the list of events that need your attention, i.e. the list of manoeuvres during the route. These are the events shown in the Turn preview field and announced by the voice instructions. Route summary: tapping the Mode button again will show an overview of the route that contains only the significant roads and intersections.
Show Tap this button to see the highlighted list item on the map. This will help you identify route events in the list. Avoid Tap this button to show a list of possibilities for modifying the route. They let you recalculate the route avoiding the highlighted event and sometimes also some of the subsequent ones.
Manoeuvre: this option avoids the highlighted action. For example if you find a turn too difficult during rush hour traffic, MioMap will recalculate the route excluding that turn. If the next street is important in the route, it is likely that MioMap will replace the turn with several easier ones to get to the same street. Road: when you exclude a road, MioMap will calculate a route that does not use that road. It is useful when you anticipate a traffic jam in a street used in your
route, or a roadblock is announced on the radio, and you find that road in your Itinerary. Distances: you can also find some distance buttons in this list. They are similar to the ones in the Bypass list of the Recalculate menu (Page 41), but these can also be used for distant parts of the route.
Note: You need not open Itinerary if you run into a roadblock or traffic jam. To get an immediate alternative route use the Bypass function of Recalculate (Page 41). Note: When you use this feature, MioMap will keep on excluding the same part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page 42), or reset the device. 4.5.3.4 Fly Over This feature has no navigation function, it merely provides a quick view of the route. It will present a simulation of the route showing what you will see later when navigating. There are two possibilities for running the simulation. Fast Fly Over Tap Fly Over to quickly run through the route. MioMap will fly the route in Cockpit mode at high speed to give you a rough overview of the route events. MioMap is tweaked to give you a smooth and easy-to-follow playback even at this speed. Press and hold the Main menu button (Page 10) then tap Fly Over to quickly run through the route. MioMap will fly the route in Cockpit mode at high speed to give you a rough overview of the route events. MioMap is tweaked to give you a smooth and easy-to-follow playback even at this speed. This mode is useful if you want to have a look at the route before you start your journey. Tap anywhere on the screen to stop the simulation. Lifelike simulation Tap the Fly Over button without pushing any hardware buttons. In this mode the simulation is run at normal speed (using the speed limit of the streets and roads in the route), and voice instructions are also played. This mode is mainly useful for demonstrating MioMap, or to learn the way it works before your start your first journey. 4.5.3.5 Edit Tap Edit to see the list of all points used in the route. The first item in the list is the departure point of the route without a valid GPS position, the last reached via point if you open the list during navigation, or the point where MioMap most recently

4.6.3 Speed limit checked
As additional information, the speed limit checked by the camera is given for fixed, built-in and section control cameras. When you save a camera location using the Add Cam button in the Cursor menu (Page 26), the speed limit of the road is used by default, but you can change the value from 30 km/h to 130 km/h with the given control:
4.6.4 Add a new camera or edit an existing one
You can add new cameras, delete or modify the parameters of existing ones using the Add Cam or Edit Cam buttons of the Cursor menu (Page 26). To delete an existing camera first tap Edit Cam, then Delete.
4.6.5 Change the settings of the camera warning
You can turn on and off the camera warning, and fine-tune its settings in General settings (Page 65 and Page 65).
4.7 TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
MioMap can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. Note: TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details. You need a TMC receiver attached to your PNA to receive TMC information. MioMap automatically takes into account the TMC information received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning. The moment MioMap receives traffic information that may affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions. The TMC subsystem can be started from the GPS Data screen (Page 29) by tapping the TMC button.
4.7.1 List of TMC messages
The main screen of the TMC section is the list of valid TMC messages ordered by their distance from your current location.
Tap the arrows to turn the page, and see traffic difficulties farther away from your current position, or press Settings to configure the TMC subsystem. This opens a new window.

4.7.2 TMC control centre

This screen shows the selected TMC source and allows you to change the TMC settings.
4.7.2.1 Selected FM radio station The name and frequency of the selected radio station will appear at the top of this window, together with signal strength information indicated by a bar similar to the GPS satellite signal strength bars on the GPS Data screen. If there arent any radio stations broadcasting TMC data in your area, the receiver keeps on searching. You will see the frequency continuously sweeping across the FM CCIR radio band (87.5-108 MHz). When you move to an area with TMC information, the indicator will show the frequency, and detailed information for the TMC station. 4.7.2.2 Exclude selected station If you wish to receive TMC data from another radio station, push this button. The radio station will be added to the list of excluded stations, MioMap will start searching for another TMC station, and will always skip the excluded station in the future. 4.7.2.3 Show excluded stations This button opens the list of excluded radio stations. Tap any of the stations in the list, then tap Enable to allow MioMap to accept TMC information from this station.

Should the settlement you are looking for appear on the list, just tap it and you will immediately jump to the Street Name Input screen with the selected city name or postcode shown at the top of the screen. If the desired settlement is not displayed, use the arrows in the bottom right corner to see more of this list. Tip: If during navigation you need to know the name of the city, the state or the country you are currently in, just start Find/Address and read the first line of the list. This function leads to a reliable result only if GPS position is available, and you have not disabled Lock-to-Position by moving the map. If you find that the list of recently used cities contains settlements you will not visit in the near future, you can choose to empty the list by the Clear button in the bottom left corner. Selecting a new settlement to search in If you are looking for a city or town (or state) you cannot find on the list, tap Other City in the top right corner. This will take you to the city name or postcode input screen, where you can select the desired city by entering a few letters of its name or
some digits of its postcode, then select from the list of results automatically given by the program if the matching items can be displayed on one page, or displayed on more pages if you tap Done after entering some letters. Note: Postcodes may not be available for the selected country. In this case you need to enter the name of the settlement.
You can accomplish this by using an alphabetic input screen (either an ABC- or a QWERTY-type). You only need to enter the first few letters, as the program only searches among the settlements that exist in the given state or country. If the name of the settlement is of more than one word, the searched pattern can be any or the combination of those. You can search for multiple partial words by inserting space characters in the pattern. For example Key West in Florida will be found if you enter Ke W or even We K (any word order will do). You do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and MioMap will search for all their combinations in the database (e.g. for the Canadian town Dlage you only need to type Deleage, and the rest is done by the program). As you start typing, MioMap will calculate the number of settlements matching your pattern(s). This number is shown at the right end of the input line. If all the matching city names can fit on one screen, the sound played when hitting the key will be different, and MioMap will show you all the results in a list. You can select the one you are looking for by tapping the appropriate list item. Note: When more than 300 matching items (a list of more than 60 pages) exist for the entered pattern(s), MioMap stops searching, and displays >300 at the right end of the input line. Enter more letters to narrow the list. Note: When the name of the settlement contains a character that is not available on the keyboard (e.g. apostrophe or dash), MioMap considers it a space that splits the word. That is why you can search for Alleyn-Et-Cawood with all the following search criteria: A E C, Et A, or Al Ca. Tip: If you have finished entering the street name and the matching names are still on more than one page, just tap Done, and select your desired settlement from the list. Turn the pages with the arrow buttons in the bottom right corner. Tip: In case you are looking for a city name that has more than one word, you can reduce the list of matches faster if you enter a few letters from each word.

Note: If any of the settlements listed has named suburbs or numbered districts that also appear separately in the map, a Show districts button will appear in the bottom left corner. Tap this button to list the suburbs together with the main settlements. Now the button turns to Hide districts, and tapping it will return to the original, shorter result list.
Once you have selected the city, you can continue by entering the street name as described here: Selecting a street or the centre of the settlement. Changing the state (Australia and USA only) The maps of Australia and the USA contain state information. If the settlement you are looking for is in a different state, tap Other City then Change State from the list of recently used cities, then select the appropriate state. Should you wish to search for an address in the whole country, just tap "All states" at the beginning of the list.
When the state is selected, you need to select a settlement by entering a part of its name or postcode, then selecting from the list of available matching items as described before. Note: In Australia you can skip this part by tapping Done before entering any letters. This way you can search for a street name in the whole state. In the USA this step is compulsory. If you press Done before entering any letters, the list of settlements will appear in a list in alphabetical order. Changing the country
If your destination is in another country, tap the Change Country button in the top right corner of the state selection screen (Australia and USA), or the city selection screen (Europe and Asia), and select the country from the list.
5.3.1.2 Selecting a house number or the midpoint of the street Once the country, the city and the street name are selected, you are asked to give the house number using the numeric keypad. The range of available house numbers for the chosen street is shown in the input field before you begin entering the figures.
Enter the number, tap Done, and MioMap will show you the selected location on the map (or will start navigating immediately if you have selected Find Address at the Main menu screen). Note: House numbers may not be available on the map of your region. Ask your local dealer for details. Tip: If you do not know the house number, just press Done, and the midpoint of the street will be used as the selected location. 5.3.1.3 How to select an intersection instead of a house number If you do not know the house number or it is easier to pinpoint the location with an intersection, press the Find intersection button in the top right corner and select the desired street name from the list of available intersections of the previously selected street (displayed in the top centre of the screen). The crossing of the two streets will be the selected point.

5.3.1.4 An example for a full address search This is an example for the most complex address search, finding an address from abroad. In this example your current position is not in France, and you are looking for an address in Paris, France, the address 17 rue dUzs. The following steps shall be taken after entering the Find Address section: You see the list of recently used cities. Paris does not appear in the list. Tap Other City in the top right corner. Since you are in Europe, there is no state level between cities and countries, so tap Change Country in the top right corner to change the country. Tap France in the list. Now select the city in France. Enter Paris using the virtual keyboard. As several settlements have Paris in their name, the list of cities is not shown automatically. Tap Done to get the list of settlements containing Paris. The first settlement in the list is Paris, as it is the exact match. Tap it. Now you need to enter the name of the street. You need not enter accents, the apostrophe, and you can enter more of the words in any order separated by spaces. Enter R D Uz, D Uz, Uz, and rue dUzs automatically appears; or enter R D U, U R D, Ru U, and tap Done to get the list of matching street names. Either way you get the list, tap rue dUzs to select the street. Now you see the numeric keypad, where you need to enter 17 and tap Done to finish the process: 17 rue dUzs, Paris, France is selected.

5.3.2 Find in History

If you have used Find before, or saved map points as POIs or picked and used points of the map before, they all appear in the History list. This list is ordered by the time the points were last used. The most recently used locations are always at the beginning of the list.
Just pick any of the recent locations as your destination. Here you have no possibility to reorder the list or filter it by name, but the Next and Previous buttons let you browse through the complete list to find your preferred point.

5.3.3 Find Coordinates

MioMap also lets you enter your destination by map coordinates. The coordinates need to be in latitude/longitude format and, based on the WGS84 earth model (the one used by most GPS devices).
When you enter this page, the coordinates of the current GPS position (or the selected map point, the Cursor, if Lock-to-Position is inactive) are shown at the top of the display. The coordinates are always shown in broken degrees format, but you can enter the coordinates in any of the three latitude/longitude formats (broken degrees; degrees and broken minutes; or degrees, minutes and broken seconds). You can even enter the latitude and longitude in different formats. Entering a latitude/longitude pair is easy. The left field contains the latitude. It starts with an N (North) or S (South) letter. This tells MioMap whether the point is in the Northern or the Southern hemisphere. Use the button to change the hemisphere. Enter numbers for the latitude. Use the decimal point if the degrees, minutes or seconds are not integers. Use the / / button (the label depends on the current cursor position inside the latitude) to start entering minutes after degrees or seconds after minutes. When finished, tap the longitude on the right, and enter it as you did latitude. This tells MioMap whether the point is located time the hemisphere-changing button East or West from the meridian crossing Greenwich, UK. Once you have entered both numbers, press Done to make the selection. Tip: The quickest way to tell the coordinates of a point is to select it by tapping on the map or by using Find, and then come to this page and read the coordinates. Tip: If you need to reformat coordinates to the format selected in MioMap, enter the coordinates in the format you have, press Done to show it in the map, then come back here to see the same location in dd.ddddddd format.

5.3.5 Find one of the Favourites (Home/Work)
If you have already set up your favourite destinations in General settings (Page 66), you can select either of them by simply tapping the button with the name on it. Using the Favourites function at the Main menu it is only two taps to start navigating.
Note: If you try to access a favourite destination that you have not yet set up, MioMap will lead you to the setup page.

6 Settings

MioMap provides several settings in order to let you customise the functions of the program. The Settings screen can be accessed directly from the Main menu screen (Main menu) and from the map screens by using the battery icon (Page 25), while some of its sub-screens are accessible from other parts of the program.

6.1 General settings

These are the basic settings of MioMap.

6.1.1 Safety Mode

Safety mode will disable the touch-screen above 10 km/h (6 mph) to keep your attention on the road. You are still able to use the hardware buttons, but you cannot set a new destination or change the settings. When you disable Safety Mode, MioMap will warn you.
6.1.2 Automatic Night Colours
Using the automatic night mode, MioMap will change between the daylight and night colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset based on the time and location information provided by your GPS. Once you set a permanent colour scheme in the Quick menu (Page 36), this automatic mode turns off. If you need MioMap to switch between colours for you again, you need to reenable this feature.
6.1.3 Speed Warning Options
When speed warning is turned on, the values of these controls determine when the warning will be triggered.
You can set two different kinds of behaviour for the warning: one is applied up to a certain speed limit and the other one is used above that. 6.1.3.1 Speeding tolerance MioMap will warn you when you exceed the speed limit by the amount specified here. Select whether you want to specify the tolerance as a Fixed value (offset to the speed limit) or as a Percentage. The slider will change depending on which mode you have chosen. Both positive and negative values can be given in either offset or percentage mode. 6.1.3.2 Alternative speed limit If the speed limit of the current road segment equals or is above this limit, the speed warning will use the alternative tolerance instead of the previous one. Move the slider to its rightmost position to turn off the alternative speed warning. Then the settings of the upper slider will determine the warning for all roads. 6.1.3.3 Alternative speeding tolerance If the speed limit of the current road reaches the value set at Alternative speed limit, this setting will replace the basic one set at the top of this screen. The slider and the selector work exactly as the basic ones described here: Page 64.

6.2.5 Attention Tone

If this is set to Disabled, the voice guidance will sound without a preceding attention tone. Setting it to Single Tone will initiate a single attention tone before the instructions, while Double Tone will use a double tone. Note: The Mute function (Page 25) accessible from the map screens overrides the settings on this screen. When MioMap is muted, all sounds disappear. These settings will not be changed; only the output will be muted temporarily.
6.3 Route parameter settings
This is a very important page. Settings here determine how routes will be calculated. This screen is directly accessible from the Route Information screen (Page 31).

6.3.1 Route

Here you can choose from three different route types. 6.3.1.1 Shortest Choosing Shortest will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. 6.3.1.2 Fastest Choosing Fastest will result in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel at or near the speed limits on all included roads. This is usually preferred for fast and normal cars.
6.3.1.3 Economical This setting is a wise combination of the previous two. Although basically going for the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less distance compared to the fastest one, MioMap will choose this one instead to save fuel.

6.3.2 Vehicle

You can set the type of the vehicle that you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting, some of the road types will be excluded from the route (e.g. motorways for pedestrians), or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account (e.g. emergency vehicles have no restrictions). Available values: Car Taxi Bus Lorry Emergency Bicycle Pedestrian
6.3.3 Road types to include/exclude
To let the route fit your needs you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible. Note: Excluding a route is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, MioMap will use them but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen (Page 31), and the road not matching your preference will be displayed in alternate colour on the map. 6.3.3.1 Unpaved Roads Unpaved roads are excluded by default, as they can be in a bad condition and you usually cannot reach the speed limit on them. 6.3.3.2 Motorways When driving a slow car or towing another vehicle, you may prefer not to take motorways.

6.4.4 Set Date & Time Format
You can set the date and time format displayed by MioMap. Various international formats are available. You can also set the time zone you are currently in.

6.5 Screen settings

Here you can set how the display backlight behaves when using MioMap. These settings are independent of the settings of the other applications of Mio DigiWalker C210.

6.5.1 Power management

At the top of the screen you can set how the backlight will behave when the screen has not been touched for a while. Backlight always on You can choose to have the lights always on. Smart powersave You can also initiate this special feature of MioMap. When running on battery Smart Powersave will light up the screen only when you press or tap a button, or if MioMap has something to show you. After a few seconds the light level decreases, and after another few seconds the backlight turns off. This helps you achieve a longer battery life.

6.5.2 Brightness

You can set the backlight level separately for both daylight and night modes, thus enhancing the effect of the night colour scheme. The values are between 0 and 10, where zero means there is no backlight at all, and 10 represents the maximum backlight value.

6.5.3 Screen calibration

If the device does not respond precisely to screen taps, tap this button and recalibrate the touch screen. Just follow the on-screen instructions.

6.6 About screen

Tap About on the Main menu screen to open this screen. The About screen is not used in normal navigation. It is there to inform you about the map licenses you have, the creators of MioMap and the legal aspects of using the program.

7 Troubleshooting guide

Thank you again for purchasing our product. We hope you will enjoy every minute of using it. However you may face difficulties before you get really accustomed to MioMap. In such cases, please, refer to this table of frequently encountered problematic situations. I cannot find the Greenarrow that would show my location. Navigation does not start. Check the GPS status icon on any of the map screens (Page 24) or the GPS Data screen (Page 29). It is likely that the GPS cannot determine your position. Move the GPS out of cover to get a position fix. The GPS is connected, sending valid position data, yet I cannot see the Greenarrow that would show my position. You should see a large semi-transparent Lock icon (Page 22) on the screen. Tap this to re-enable the Lock-to-Position feature that moves the map back to your actual location. The Green arrow shows my location, but I cannot see the route (Orange or red line), and no voice instructions are announced. It is likely that you have no active route. Check the upper left corner of the Cockpit screen (Page 21) if you can see the indication for the next turn or not. If this field is blank, you have no route planned, so you need to create one first. It is a common mistake to find a destination, show it on the map, but forget to tap the Route To button in the Cursor menu (Page 26) to create the route. Be sure to follow these steps, or always plan your routes by using one of the buttons on the Main menu screen. This will ensure your route is calculated automatically as soon as the destination has been selected. I cannot see the Lock button on the screen, yet the map is not rotated during driving. Look for a small, red N letter on the compass icon (Page 23) or an aeroplane icon instead of it. It is likely that you had initiated the North-up map orientation or the Overview mode unintentionally. Tap this icon to revert to Track-up mode with automatic map rotation. Creating a multi-point route I have tapped the Route To button once for each destination but only the last one appears in the list, all previous points have disappeared.
